Bottle from mgumby10; nose of spices, caramel, and nuts; cherry brown with a medium tan head; flavor ofa smoky note, dark fruitiness, and you can taste chestnuts and a little alcohol in the finish. Body seems a little thin, but it tastes good and goes down smooth, but different!

2010-06-05, RBESG 2010, draught at Open Baladin, 5-4-5-2-10=26
Hazy amber color, creamy head. Aroma of pizza yeast. Sweetish flavor, strong body, with an obnoxious pizza yeast flavor, lightly herbal, and alcoholic.

2007-07-22, draught at Bi-Du Beer Fest 2007, 6-4-6-3-12=31
Cloudy amber color; creamy head. The aroma is yeasty and herbal, like rosemary. Soft mouthfeel, some caramel taste, herbal touch, medicinal, alcohol. Ordinary bitterness.
I respect the right to brew and drink any kind of beer, but I prefer the straight ones to the experimental beers with herbs and fruits.

Pours deep amber into a snifter. Off-white conglomerate head leaves spot lacing as it recedes. Ginger, cumin and paprika aromas. Crisp and dry with upfront caramel and a lasting sweetly spiced finish. Makes me tired.

Bottle from Capital Ale House - Innsbrook. Shared with Kinz, his wife and friend. Hazy dark brown body with a medium creamy light brown head and just a little bit of sediment. Sweet sugary caramel and wood aroma. Sweet fruity flavor, some light caramel and a very soft nutty ending.

Small yellow head, fast gone; dark orange colour, lot’s of UFO’s. Shoepolish, varnish, very uninviting - to put it mildly - nose. Tarry taste, phenols abound, on the verge of absurd. Long aftertaste, but if there’s some alcoholburn, it switches to a Lapsang Souchong quality, nearly saving the beer. Sorry, but the onslaught is too terrible to drink freely.

Good reddish tinted dark beer; yellow-brown head. Noga, stilled yoghort, wood & toffee; rubber and polish warming up. More wood in the nose, liquorice, and again a bit rubbery, petro-aromatic components. MF is very burning, full bodied with alcoholwarming. Not really convincing, faulty brew.

Small to no head; clear golden beer. Clear pepper; obvious with a lot of citrus, and half the peppermill - sneezing coming up. Dry taste with beeswaxed oakwood en pepper, displaying a shocking full taste despite the low gravity. Apt light body, not affecting anyway the taste. Good, original, great exercise.

Bottle at LCRBM 2, Kulminator, Antwerp, Belgium
Hazy, orange body. Very complex and overwhelming aroma of spices, liquor. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Quite some complexity in the flavour. Very nice beer!

LCRBM2. Cloudy dark copper colour. Souor aroma. Interesting vinous fruit flavours in mouth. Interesting. So alive in the mouth, spicey, quite dry on finish.
